When I saw this news this morning, I wondered wht the hell are the North Kreans up to? If they want a war their country will be destroyed. Perhaps you are right, Kim Jong Il whats a Gotterdammerung stle finish to his ugly career

Dick, given that the US is still fighting the two wars left to Obama by Boy George, there is not much the US can do. On the other hand South Korea can pretty well take care of itself with some help from the US troops still in South Korea, the 2nd US Infantry Division, and the Air power, both land-based and carrier, the US can unleash.

As to what Kim Jong is up to, who knows. Maybe shelling Yeonpyeong island is Kim's way of giving his heir more experience in crisis management. That was apparently the rationale behind the sinking of a South Korean warship by NK back in March.
